Via Tricycle // Acknowledge, Feel, Soften

 


April 2, 2022

Acknowledge, Feel, Soften
 
We often think of mindful presence as a state that can be achieved only when we get all our distracting thoughts and uncomfortable emotions out of the way. 

But as Insight Meditation teacher Gil Fronsdal reminds us, we can cultivate a continuous stream of present-moment awareness even in the midst of distracting thoughts and emotions. 

On the latest episode of the podcast For the Moment, Fronsdal—a Bay Area–based author and teacher in the Soto Zen and Vipassana traditions—offers a three-step practice to acknowledge, feel, and soften toward our felt experience. Listen to the seven-minute guided audio meditation for a short and sweet mindful break that you can carry with you into the rest of your day. 

Tricycle’s For the Moment podcast series offers brief guided meditations from some of our favorite Buddhist teachers, including Mark Epstein, Thanissaro Bhikkhu, and Loch Kelly. You can access the full series on our Soundcloud page.
